Amazon Prime: The best TV shows at the moment

15 October 2022
Even when, it is not common for Amazon Prime to have a lot of new TV shows or a special season of the year to launch their projects. They compensate for it by having their most popular shows from time to time. And this is a great surprise for the viewers because it is not easy to match a series when you have a lot of options and not always the likes algorithm works well.
For this reason, we made a list of some of the best TV shows on Amazon Prime now, that we can divide into the grown-up team and the little ones. Also, this list is organized by genre, year, number of seasons, etc.
We want to start with the cartoons that can be for the littles (obviously also the adults):
Anime/ adult animation
- The Legend of Vox Machina (2022)
This is an Amazon original series, based on the Dungeons & Dragons Twitch stream that became popular. As a result, they created an adult animated fantasy series. The story follows the seven-member team known as Vox Machina that play Level 7 of D&D, working to avenge the murder of the ruler of a town called Whitestone. The series, which will surely appeal to those who love D&D and who got hooked on the Twitch stream, has already been renewed for a second season.

With eight episodes in season 1, there is plenty of time to savor this show while anxiously awaiting the return of Homelander, Billy Butcher, Hughie, Starlight, Kimiko, and other fan-favorite characters from the original show. All the shows are based on the Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson DC Comics comic book of the same name.

- The Boys (2019)
It is a dark, depraved deconstruction of super-powered heroes and villains. The Boys follows a group of vigilantes who take it upon themselves to police the super-powered heroes who abuse their abilities and take advantage of the trust the public has placed in them. As grim and shockingly violent as it is clever, the series is set in a world in which superpowers, corporate greed, and media consolidation have bled together to create a particularly frightening form of corruption. The audience sees it all through the eyes of Hughie, an average guy whose chance encounter with a superhero changes his life forever.

The sitcom is Friends for a new generation, and the ensemble cast is made for comedy gold.
